Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 460 Let’s talk about the specific issues later

In order to ease the embarrassment, he changed the subject and asked Lin Chen: "Do you plan to take a month to complete the construction this time?"

Apparently, everyone still remembered Lin Chen's rapid construction of the Mirage fighter jet, and believed that he could always create miracles in building weapons and equipment. But this time, Lin Chen did not give a clear answer.

"Let's wait until tomorrow when I report the plan to everyone and then decide on the specific time." Lin Chen said.

Both parties were very happy to reach a preliminary agreement on the construction of an aircraft carrier. However, the real contract would not be signed until Lin Chen provided a specific preliminary plan.

Lin Chen returned to his residence and lay on the bed, thinking about the construction of the aircraft carrier. He had already conducted in-depth research on the structure and performance of the aircraft carrier, and he could buy any necessary maintenance technology from the system, so it was not too difficult for him to deal with this problem. His main hesitation now was the cost issue.

"I don't know how much money the Eastern Theater can come up with. I don't want to pay too much myself." Lin Chen muttered to himself and gradually fell asleep. Perhaps because he had lived here for too long, he had gradually adapted to the environment here.

The next morning, Lin Xuejun couldn't wait to come to Lin Chen's dormitory, and even before Lin Chen got up, he called him out of bed.

"Hurry up and get ready. Everyone is waiting for your quotation so that we can officially sign the contract." Lin Xuejun urged.

Lin Chen frowned and looked at Lin Xuejun in front of him, and said helplessly: "It's really hard to imagine that you, a district chief, would do such a childish thing."

Lin Xuejun responded with a smile: "There are many things you can't imagine, get up quickly." After that, he turned and walked out of the dormitory.

Lin Chen had already learned from the plan the time and money needed to build the aircraft carrier. The morning meeting was held in a special conference room at the headquarters. Because it involved confidential matters related to the aircraft carrier, they were already in a high-level secret conference room.

Tong Shichen was looking forward to Lin Chen's reply, only to see Lin Chen distribute the documents he had prepared to everyone present. After everyone got the documents, Lin Chen said, "The specific performance and other aspects have been clearly marked on the documents. The time I can give is one month, and the price is 30 billion."

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Chen continued: "The 30 billion includes all the shipborne equipment on the aircraft carrier."

Tong Shichen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Chen's words. He said to Lin Chen, "I was just wondering if this price would be too different from the price of the previous aircraft carrier. But now it seems that if all the shipborne equipment and weapons are added, 30 billion is reasonable."

Tong Shichen agreed very readily, without any hesitation or bargaining. If it were an ordinary businessman, he might feel that his asking price was a bit low, after all, the other party agreed so easily. But Lin Chen did not have such an idea. His fee standard was fixed, and his fee would not change regardless of whether the other party was willing to accept it. For him, as long as the business could be concluded, it was fine.

Tong Shichen signaled to the soldier behind him, who immediately took out several contracts and placed them in front of him. Each of these contracts was three centimeters thick, and two of them were handed to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen carefully read the contract, after all, this was a major event involving the construction of an aircraft carrier. He read the contract word by word, and only signed his name after confirming that there were no problems.

The contract was signed in duplicate and exchanged. Tong Shichen stood up, stretched out his hand and said to Lin Chen, "Happy cooperation, Boss Lin!"

Lin Chen also extended his hand and shook hands with Tong Shichen, and replied: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

After Lin Chen left, Lin Xuejun looked at his back and said to Tong Shichen, "Commander, he is truly an amazing man! He built an aircraft carrier in just one month!"

Tong Shichen nodded with admiration: "You can see his strength from the last aircraft carrier. It takes seven or eight years for a country to build an aircraft carrier, but he only needs one month." At this point, he couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice, "This is the pride of China!"

Lin Xuejun also nodded in agreement. They had other work to do, and the aircraft carrier issue had been handed over to Lin Chen. The military only needed to wait for the results.

Lin Chen was not idle, he went directly to the shipyard. Standing at the edge of the dock, he thought for a while and decided to go back first. The equipment required for an aircraft carrier is huge and has extremely high quality requirements. He needs to see what resources are available in the system first.

After returning to the shipyard office, Lin Chen opened the system and began to look through it. He wanted to know if there were any updates to the information on aircraft carrier construction in the system. After all, it had been a month since he last checked the information provided by the system. Maybe there were new updates that could help him with his next creative plan.

The system's drop-down menu lists in detail the various capabilities currently available on the aircraft carrier. Lin Chen's eyes were drawn to one of the options - "fly".

He stayed on the "Fly" interface for a long time, and the system prompt sounded suddenly: "Master, you have stayed on the 'Fly' interface for more than one minute. Do you want to add it?"

Lin Chen chose to confirm without hesitation. This was an unprecedented attempt. During the entire construction process of the aircraft carrier, the "flying" option consumed most of the funds. Lin Chen listed the various attributes he selected one by one.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen brought these selected attributes to the shipyard and officially began the research and development and manufacturing of the aircraft carrier. The various components of the aircraft carrier began to be assembled separately, and the system had provided all the modules in standard sizes and shapes. Lin Chen only needed to splice these modules together on a large scale.

Then, the locomotive brought the propulsion shaft, and the generator set, pump room, and nuclear reactor were installed in place one by one. The sky gradually darkened, and the objects looked a little blurry in the dim light. Lin Chen finally straightened up and looked at the huge thing in front of him.

"Fifteen percent of the structural work has been completed. Let's stop here for today's work!" He stretched his arms and legs as he walked towards the vehicles at the dock.

The atmosphere in the Eastern Theater Command's office was peaceful and orderly. Lin Xuejun was looking down at a newly delivered stack of documents, while the signalman next to him stood straight, waiting for instructions.

After quickly flipping through the documents, Lin Xuejun picked up a pen and signed his name on several documents. Then he handed them to the staff beside him, "Send these over first." He ordered. The signalman took the documents, said "yes" simply, and turned away.

Lin Xuejun's eyes returned to the remaining documents. The contents of these documents were relatively complex and required him to study them carefully. He was already familiar with several of them and could sign them immediately; but the rest required him to spend some time to carefully consider them. At this moment, the internal phone rang, breaking the silence in the room. Lin Xuejun picked up the phone and put it to his ear. "Lin Xuejun," he introduced himself briefly.

"Xuejun, have you checked the progress of the aircraft carrier construction recently?" Tong Shichen's voice came from the other end of the phone. Hearing this, Lin Xuejun put down his pen, listened attentively to the content on the phone, and replied: "Boss Lin sent me a message to report the situation. I am going to go over and take a look after I finish my work."

"Building an aircraft carrier in a month is an incredible speed. You have to keep an eye on it all the time to make sure nothing goes wrong," Tong Shichen warned.

"Yes, don't worry, boss." Lin Xuejun promised solemnly. After hanging up the phone, he continued to work on the documents.

After a while, the remaining documents were signed one after another. He asked the staff to send the documents away, and then stood up to leave. The driver was already waiting by the car, ready to go at any time.

Lin Xuejun turned to the communicator and said, "You don't have to follow me, Xiao Wang can go with me." Xiao Wang was his full-time driver, and he immediately nodded in agreement when he heard it.

Sitting in the car, Lin Xuejun was thinking a lot. The purpose of his trip was to understand Lin Chen's progress in building the aircraft carrier and to confirm whether he could complete this difficult task within a month. You know, it usually takes five to ten years to build an aircraft carrier, of which the preparation and construction period takes four to five years, the next one or two years are used for aircraft carrier experiments, and another one or two years to form combat effectiveness. It is incredible that such a long process can be completed in one month.

Although Lin Xuejun had heard about Lin Chen's ability, he still had some doubts in his heart. After all, although the achievements that Lin Chen had built in the past were impressive, this task was too arduous. However, since Lin Chen was confident, he chose to believe it.

Unconsciously, the car had already approached Lin Chen's shipyard. Lin Xuejun dialed Lin Chen's number, and after waiting for a while, the call was finally connected.

"Boss Lin, my name is Lin Xuejun. I'm on my way to your shipyard now. Are you at the shipyard?" he asked.

Lin Chen on the other end of the phone seemed to be busy, with some dirt on his hands. He only held the phone with two fingers, and the other fingers were raised. It was indeed a bit awkward to hold the phone like this, so he simply held the phone with his shoulder and cheek, with the receiver just next to his ear, "I'm at the shipyard, you can just come over."

"Okay, I checked the time, it'll be there in about ten minutes." Lin Xuejun said. After the two confirmed the time and place, Lin Xuejun hung up the phone.

In order to avoid Lin Xuejun not being able to find him when he arrived, Lin Chen did not return to the cabin, but stayed on the platform where the dock was located. Although there were many things he needed to operate by hand, most of them were assisted by machines.

When Lin Xuejun arrived at the shipyard, he saw a shocking scene: the main structure of the aircraft carrier had been built and stood majestically on the dock platform. Standing on the platform, he looked at the aircraft carrier that had just taken shape, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." He couldn't help but admire Lin Chen.

Lin Chen seemed quite calm, "Of course, I am a little tired. It's a good thing that you are here, I also have something to discuss with you."

Lin Xuejun was about to ask, but heard Lin Chen continue: "If you can send some technicians from the Eastern Theater to help, it will be faster."

It turned out that although Lin Chen had outstanding abilities, he still felt a little overwhelmed to assemble an aircraft carrier alone. An aircraft carrier is different from other equipment. It is huge and has many parts. Lin Chen did not want to take on all the work by himself. There are so many suitable talents in the military region, and it would be a waste if they were not used.

When Lin Xuejun heard this, he was immediately delighted. "That's great! Tell me how many people you need, and I'll arrange them for you right away!"

Lin Chen took out a form that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Lin Xuejun. "It lists the types and numbers of technicians needed. Take a look."

Lin Xuejun took the form and looked at it carefully. He found that in addition to technical personnel, some general workers were also needed. The total number of people reached 800 to 900. He nodded and put the form away. "No problem, I will arrange for them to come together tomorrow."

Lin Xuejun did not leave the shipyard immediately, but chose to stay and take a look. "Boss Lin, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll stay here and watch. I hope I won't disturb your work." He said.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll get busy then. Feel free to call me if you need anything. I apologize for any inadequacies."

"I'm sorry to bother you. But I'm really curious, so I wanted to come and take a look." Lin Xuejun said frankly. He was not curious about the assembly process of the aircraft carrier, but the way and speed of Lin Chen's assembly.

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then continued to work. At this time, the aircraft carrier has begun the outfitting stage. Outfitting is a crucial link in ship construction, including all installation works inside and outside.

Lin Chen was installing surface reconnaissance radar, communication wires and aviation navigation equipment. He was skilled and quick, and completed the installation in a short while. Lin Xuejun watched it clearly from the side and admired Lin Chen's ability even more. He understood why Lin Chen was confident that the construction of the aircraft carrier would be completed within a month: the complete components here, the intelligent equipment, and Lin Chen's rich experience, all these factors contributed to the current results.

After watching for a while, Lin Xuejun walked towards Lin Chen who was installing the aerial search radar and landing radar equipment, "Boss Lin," he called softly.

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Lin Xuejun, "What's wrong?"

"Boss Lin, I have something else to do in the war zone. I'm going to go back first. I won't bother you anymore. I'll have people come over early tomorrow morning." Lin Xuejun said. As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved to Lin Chen.

The two were several meters apart, and Lin Chen responded loudly: "Okay, take care!" He had no intention of seeing Lin Xuejun off because there was really no need.

After Lin Xuejun got in the car, he took out his cell phone and found Tong Shichen's phone number. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not dial the number, and put the phone away instead.
